Topic: Massive crystal barrel 5kgs, with disc and star cuts, quality piece

[jonchellycain]

Hi all
I know crystal if not marked is notoriously hard to put a name to, but I was hoping somebody may recognise the pattern certainly not one ive been able to pin down.
I would presume it should have had a lid, but there is no sign of one being on there no marks at all, (always possible it was smashed on the way home from the shop when bought new , although at £4 I couldn't refuse, poor old Jon had to carry it back to the car )
It is a whopper at just short of 5kg in weight, 22cms in diameter, 16cms tall and the glass is just over 1cm thick on the walls.
Very nice quality piece.
can anybody offer any info on it, ive checked through quite a few replacement crystal sites, plus some other site and so far nothing
many thanks
Michelle

Maybe an Ice bucket? Nice, no idea who or where though, could be British, doesnt look like Bohemian Cutting.

Just my thoughts
